The Best Hot Chocolate with Homemade Chocolate Sauce
Water
Maple syrup
Cocoa powder
Vanilla
Salt
You either go all out and create the best hot chocolate or stick to using powders, sometimes I like to go all out 😉 hence why I have used my chocolate sauce recipe this time. Yes it might sound like a long process to make a mug of hot chocolate however, once you make up the chocolate sauce, it will keep in your fridge in an airtight jar that you can use anytime, not just for this hot chocolate. I love to use it in milkshakes and drizzle it over ice-cream.
Enjoy your cosy and heartwarming hot chocolate friend! Sam x
